The new decade has exposed a dual challenge for airports. On the one hand, there’s a permanent growth in demand for air travel, while on the other, unforeseen disruptions create additional complexities. Balancing between these opposing forces necessitates strategic planning. Traditional solutions like expanding airport size or acquiring additional assets aren’t feasible due to various constraints, making the optimization of existing infrastructure a critical focal point. The evolving nature of air travel trends dictates a paradigm shift towards a technological evolution rather than relying solely on conventional expansion methods.
Improving overall efficiency involves streamlining turnaround processes. Inefficient turnarounds lead to significant time losses for airplanes, highlighting the vital need for refining these procedures. Employing advanced technologies such as technology-driven process management and predictive modeling can boost operational efficiency without compromising safety standards. Logipix Advanced Ramp Control Solution, the ARCS was developed precisely for this purpose. Its capabilities facilitate seamless management and precise registration of turnaround processes. Utilizing data-driven decision-making through this system empowers airports to enhance turnaround efficiency, thus contributing to overall operational efficiency.
ARCS helps optimize turnarounds, provides high-resolution visual feedback and assists in managing and registering services with reduced personnel.
■ It offers multi-angle, high-resolution coverage of all airplane stands on the apron, utilizing either 20 MP single sensor cameras or 300 MP Panorama cameras.
■ It provides transparent interfaces for quick stand status feedback, enabling swift and precise management and registration of turnarounds and services.
■ Fewer personnel is adequate to efficiently manage all stands on the apron. Operators can quickly oversee all monitored stands and switch between them at a glance.
■ ARCS operates in cohesion with integrated positioning systems and the Airport Information Database.
■ ARCS generates organized datasets derived from registered processes, which prove beneficial for KPI calculations. Additionally, it assigns visual content to all these records.
Operators no longer need to depend on non-visual radio communication for the verification and registration of turnarounds. They now receive high-resolution video streams of every apron stand, both in real-time and archived.
Operators and supervisors have the ability to oversee all aircraft stands on an interactive color-coded interface. They can monitor the progress of daily turnarounds and manage the daily flights. They receive warnings and alerts regarding service delays, enabling them to easily rearrange plans and prevent time conflicts.
The Turnaround Registration interface enables operators to visually monitor and register turnaround processes from parking to push-back. Utilizing manual or AI-powered operation modes, they can create comprehensive turnaround reports with precise time stamps in both real-time and archive modes.
The ARCS system significantly enhances KPI calculations for improving turnaround efficiency by furnishing comprehensive data on turnaround services. Through meticulous analysis of this data, identifiable bottlenecks such as persistently delayed services are highlighted, enabling targeted interventions for smoother operations and improved efficiency.
The Turnaround History feature allows operators to access previously saved worksheets along with automatically stored reference images. By utilizing this tool, operators can efficiently search and retrieve registered turnarounds within the designated storage period.
Specially designed functions streamline the search process, enabling operators to locate specific reference images within seconds. This quick access proves invaluable for evidence-based searches and facilitates seamless navigation through historical data for various operational needs.
Financial Benefits
■ Enabling Strategic Decision Support – The system aids in KPI calculations by furnishing precise data on actual turnaround times and delays, empowering informed strategic decisions.
■ Enhancing Stand Occupancy Optimization – Comprehensive statistics and calculations on stand occupancy facilitate the realization of business advantages.
■ Amplifying Operator Efficiency – With the capacity to oversee multiple turnarounds concurrently and ensure seamless service management, the system significantly reduces the required personnel.
■ Reduced need for human-involved maintenance – Logipix hardware components have self-maintenance capabilities via integrated self-cleaning and deicing systems, reducing the need for frequent human interventions.
■ Streamlining Manpower Allocation – Operators can efficiently manage multiple stands simultaneously, reducing the manpower required for aircraft stand management.
ARCS combines state-of-the-art video monitoring technology, smart integration, and specially designed software to enhance the efficiency of turnarounds.
Operational Benefits
■ Improved visibility at aircraft stands – ARCS offers comprehensive visual coverage of aircraft stands and surrounding areas, providing real-time and archived visual feedback on turnaround services.
■ Instant support for managing stand allocations in real-time – ARCS supports operators by monitoring and displaying the progress of turnarounds in real-time time. The system alerts for delays and time conflicts, simplifying stand allocations and re-allocations.
■ User-friendly registration for turnaround processes – Operators benefit from a user-friendly interface for immediate or historical registration of turnaround processes, facilitating precise time tracking.
■ Real-time support for decision-making – ARCS consistently highlights urgent situations for prompt decision-making support.
■ Reliable visual evidence – ARCS ensures detailed investigation capabilities, offering indisputable visual evidence in ambiguous situations, such as confirming aircraft damage occurrences.
Real-time stand statuses are displayed on the front-end interface, color-coded across all interface modules. This visual representation ensures swift and clear information regarding their statuses.
Thumbnail video streams offer operators immediate visual feedback on the stands, enabling them to quickly assess and monitor real-time conditions.
Daily flights are graphically represented on a dynamic schedule, which is filled automatically and adapts fluidly based on the registered, real-time progress of turnarounds. It shows delays, over-times and time conflicts.
The activities of operators within the system can be continuously monitored and tracked for assessment and oversight.
LAARS allows for the utilization of data originating from the AIDB. The AIDB serves as a comprehensive repository providing information on runway parameters, taxiways, airplane stands, navigational aids and airport services. Integrating these diverse sets of data within LAARS enables a more holistic view and analysis of airport operations.
ADS-B transmits real-time aircraft data, including identity and GPS-based position. This data can be utilized in LAARS for more precise positioning on the interactive map and it can be also visualized on the informational object labels.
MLAT helps tracking aircraft that might not be equipped with ADS-B or radar transponders, improving overall surveillance coverage and accuracy. Integrating MLAT data within LAARS enhances the situational awareness for air traffic controllers and airport operators.
Integrating A-SMGCS data within LAARS allows for a more comprehensive understanding of ground movements. This integration aids in preventing collisions, reducing runway incursions, optimizing ground traffic flow, and enhancing safety protocols for aircraft and vehicle operations on the airport surface.
The Logipix Virtual PTZ module makes it possible to display both the video streams and high-level LAARS functions within a third-party VMS. To transmit both video and AR visualization elements, LAARS fuses this information and generates a standard, transferable ONVIF stream.
